The Soul Wood Arrives Successfully

Chapter 115 The Soul Wood Arrives Successfully

"We've explored twenty miles to the south so far, but haven't found any sign of a village."

The following day, at dusk.

Liao Ning led the exploration team to turn south and begin their search.

The aim is to discover the existence of some villages and traces of previous human habitation.

However, after a day of exploration, they climbed steep slopes, traversed jungles, and forded streams.

They traveled more than two thousand miles south of the territory, but still could not find any trace of human existence.

Moreover, no one had ever been here before; the path was covered with vines and thorns, and they had to cut their way through to make their way.

It took a lot of effort to walk about twenty miles.

Seeing that it was getting late, Liao Ning had no choice but to abandon his idea of ​​continuing the exploration and lead the team back to the territory.

Upon returning to her territory, she immediately went to Shen Yi and reported the day's findings in detail.

"According to Fifth Master, they fled from Nanhuang City and fled north for several days and nights before finally settling here."

Shen Yi pondered, realizing that Nanhuang City was at least several hundred miles away from their territory.

It seems that reaching Southern Wilderness City to collect supplies will be quite difficult for him.

If you stay outside at night, you don't know what kind of monsters or spirits might appear in the outside world.

Moreover, what if that fifth-tier monster is still lurking around the Southern Wilderness City?

Wouldn't they be just throwing their lives away for nothing?

Shen Yi quickly realized that it was not feasible to reach Nanhuang City with manpower alone; he had to find another way.

"Let's continue exploring in the south and try to understand the surrounding terrain as much as possible."

A moment later, Shen Yi spoke to Liao Ning.

It doesn't matter if he can't reach Southern Wilderness City, but he needs to make sure he knows the situation around his territory perfectly!

"Yes, we'll continue south tomorrow."

Liao Ning nodded in agreement.

She looked at Shen Yi, who was broad-shouldered and engrossed in studying a medical book, her eyes flickering, and she bit her lip lightly.

It had been a long time since I had spent time alone with Shen Yi like this.

He stood quietly, thinking about what to say.

Shen Yi seemed to notice and looked up. Their eyes met, and Liao Ning panicked and quickly looked away.

"What's wrong?"

"No—it's just—"

Liao Ning hesitated.

Before she could finish speaking...

Wang Shaohui then walked over with Cao Minghui's help.

After a day and a night of rest, he looked much better and his wounds had actually healed, but the damage to his internal organs had not yet fully recovered.

Yesterday he was on the verge of death, but today he can get out of bed and walk.

Shen Yi recorded all of Wang Shaohui's behaviors in the book.

Wang Shaohui was his first patient and also his first human experimental subject.

There are two factors that have contributed to Wang Shaohui's recovery.

One is a healing pill, and the other is a special effect that comes with the [Medicine Hut].

There's no need to elaborate on the Healing Pill; it's a secret alchemical medicine passed down in the Sun family, simplified from the Rejuvenating Pill.

Even though its effect is only one-tenth that of the genuine Rejuvenation Pill, it is still an invaluable medicine for healing injuries for cultivators in the Qi and Blood Realm.

The healing pills he refined were several times more effective than those Sun Wen made.

To this day, the five field mice used as test subjects are still alive and well, and are even more energetic and lively than before.

Last night, in order to compare the effects of the drug, he specially set up a control group, proposing nine field mice and using three field mice as a group.

There are three groups in total.

Shen Yi made a similar wound on the back of each of the nine field mice.

The first group took the healing pills he had concocted.

The second group took the healing pills that Sun Wen's family had kept.

The last group was the blank control group, which did not eat anything and was allowed to recover naturally.

To avoid the "rejuvenating effect" of the herbal medicine, he placed all three groups of experimental field mice in the small courtyard.

After most of the day, the field mice in the first group had clearly healed their injuries, the field mice in the second group had mostly healed, and the field mice in the third group had only developed scabs.

This is sufficient proof that his healing pills are indeed much more effective than those refined by Sun Wen.

But what Shen Yi didn't understand was that he had refined the medicine according to the prescription and proportions provided by Sun Wen, so why was the color and efficacy so obviously different?

"Village chief, you told him to rest in bed, but he wouldn't listen and kept coming to find you. I couldn't stop him—" Cao Minghui said, looking at him somewhat embarrassed.

"I feel that my injuries have almost healed."

Wang Shaohui chuckled and said earnestly, "Village chief, I'll be able to return to the team to work tomorrow!"

"Rest for a couple more days. There's no rush to get things done. I've already arranged for Liao Ning to take charge of the exploration team."

Shen Yi raised his chin, gesturing to Liao Ning who was standing to the side.

Wang Shaohui has been worried ever since he was injured, and he feels uneasy because he hasn't been able to contribute to the territory.

However, it was clear that Shen Yi wouldn't let him work while injured.

Upon hearing this, Wang Shaohui looked at Liao Ning.

With Liao Ning's abilities, he is more than capable of handling things on his own.

He just didn't expect that Shen Yi would actually entrust the matter to her.

After all, the relationship between the two was not exactly harmonious.

Moreover, Shen Yi killed Liao Ning's father, Liao Shi'an.

If he were Shen Yi, he would definitely entrust the task to someone he trusts.

However, it seems that there is no animosity between the two at present.

"Uncle Shaohui, take good care of your injuries. You can leave the exploration team to me without worry."

Liao Ning spoke up.

"Alright, it's just that I haven't been able to do anything. It's always a bit strange to be idle all the time," Wang Shaohui sighed.

"You've done me a favor now."

Shen Yi waved the book in his hand in front of him, "I need to record your recovery progress to verify some of my guesses."

"I see—okay!"

Wang Shaohui was stunned upon hearing this, then nodded vigorously, "I will definitely cooperate with whatever the village chief instructs me to do."

"Let's go back to the medicine hut."

Shen Yi said something and got up to go to the medicine hut.

Cao Minghui helped Wang Shaohui catch up, and Liao Ning followed closely behind.

"Lie down on the bed."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Shaohui did as instructed.

Shen Yi stepped forward and lifted his clothes. The edges of the wound had already healed together. "It's time to remove the stitches."

"Bear with it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yi cut the thread stitching the wound and then pulled it out.

Wang Shaohui had experienced this kind of scene many times, so he didn't feel much pain.

"The stitches were supposed to be removed after seven days, but they were removed in just one day. The 'rejuvenating' properties of the herbal medicine definitely played a major role."

With the medicine hut and the healing pills, the people in their territory can recover quickly from injuries.

"Village Chief, your healing pills are really effective! Sun Wen's healing pills are definitely not even a tenth as effective as yours. Could this already be considered a high-grade pill?"

Wang Shaohui still thought it was just the effect of the simple healing pills, and spoke to Shen Yi with great admiration.

"Not yet, the effects of the elixir will be much better."

Shen Yi smiled faintly, got up and walked away. "Alright, take two healing pills every day from now on, and you should be fully recovered after resting for two more days."

"Village chief, you saved our family's life again. I really don't know how to thank you enough!"

Cao Minghui stepped forward, her eyes red-rimmed.

Previously, Shen Yi had invited people from the town to help the family break the curse and save their lives.

Now that he had saved her husband, Cao Minghui was completely unable to express her gratitude to him in words.

"It's alright. Just do your job well. Since they are people from my territory, I will naturally do my best to protect everyone's life."

After all, there are only about sixty people available, and every one who dies is one less.

Shen Yi couldn't bear to see precious human resources suffer even the slightest loss.

Finally, after giving Wang Shaohui a healing pill and letting him rest well in the medicine hut, he returned to the core courtyard.

By this time, everyone had gathered together.

Guan Yue and the others were using that level 7 wooden dummy.

Huang Dahu was using the wooden dummy that had been given to them, while Mo Guanhai was pondering the last level 4 wooden dummy with some surprise.

Based on his understanding of the wooden dummy, it shouldn't be able to attack automatically.

Why did it take on such a miraculous quality in Shen Yi's hands?

He often uses the wooden dummy.

Forgive him for being relatively poor when he was young, as he never experienced what it was like to practice on a wooden dummy.

So this is his first time using a wooden dummy, and he doesn't know how it differs from the wooden dummy in the Southern Wilderness City.

But the results of this training were truly unexpected.

The wooden dummy can actually help martial artists condense their qi and blood, adjust their posture for exerting force, and better master the techniques of generating power.

It really is a treasure that can teach people how to practice martial arts!

Mo Guanhai was filled with sorrow.

If he had possessed such a treasure when he was young, he would probably have surpassed the Solidifying Yuan Realm by now.

But it's not too late now!

Moreover, being able to witness the growth of outstanding younger generations is truly a blessing in life!

Shen Yuan's blood and qi were surging wildly at this moment, and she was already preparing to break through to a higher realm!

Those around quickly realized this and immediately stopped their punches and kicks, moving away to keep their distance.

Upon noticing Shen Yi, they immediately walked over.

"Xiao Yuan is about to break through to the eighth level of Qi and Blood."

There was a hint of shock in Mo Guanhai's tone.

He personally witnessed Shen Yuan break through from the sixth level of the Qi and Blood Realm to the seventh level more than twenty days ago, and now, less than a month later, she is actually breaking through her realm again!

However, this is actually quite reasonable.

After all, he had also handled the wooden dummy used by Shen Yi and the others, and it was truly comparable to a peerless treasure.

Its effects are many times stronger than the other two training wooden dummy sets.

The most terrifying one is actually Shen Yi.

Looking at Shen Yi's calm face, Mo Guanhai sensed the strength of the blood and qi emanating from his body, which had already reached the standard of the ninth level of the Blood and Qi Realm. He couldn't help but twitch his lips.

This kid is even more abnormal. Each meal he eats is equivalent to the energy that others absorb from two or three meals. Moreover, his stamina seems to be inexhaustible at night, allowing him to use the wooden training dummy for an extended period of time.

With this kind of accumulation, the effect of a month of training is equivalent to decades of hard work for other people in Black Mountain Village!

How can you say it's not terrifying?

Shen Yi is now preparing to break free from the shackles of the Qi and Blood Realm.

It shouldn't take more than a month.

He was delighted to see his younger sister's cultivation progress so quickly.

"If the wooden dummy can be upgraded further, the training effect will definitely be more significant."

Shen Yi glanced at the collection section.

For the past month, his lantern ghost lair has been producing 20 to 30 lantern ghosts every night.

I now have a total of 793 pieces of Yin Soul Wood.

Shen Yi was wondering if he should revise the plan.

For example, let the Lantern Ghosts develop and reproduce for a period of time, allowing them to re-form a new race, and then evolve into Lantern Demons, ultimately reaping a large harvest.

Such gains may be greater, but it takes time to accumulate.

It's impossible to have Yin Soul Wood coming in every day like it does now.

He quickly made a decision to let the lantern ghosts breed in their nests for a month and see how things went.

His thoughts gradually returned to his own.

Looking at the collection bar, there are 14245 units of Shadow Wood.

That's still too little.

"Upgrading a level 7 wooden puppet soldier and a bloodthirsty wooden dummy to level 8 requires 7000 Yin Soul Wood, which is far from enough."

Shen Yi is now hoping that his little sister and Ah Kun can reach the Solid Foundation Realm as soon as possible so that they can raid the Lantern Ghost's lair in the surrounding area at night.

Soon after.

With a loud bang from the courtyard, Shen Yuan's fist struck the Blood Fiend Wooden Dummy like a cannonball.

His vital energy surged instantly!

Bang! ! !

Shen Yi snapped out of his thoughts.

Soon, Shen Yuan stopped what she was doing, a look of joy appearing on her face. When she turned around and saw him, she immediately rushed towards him and hugged his waist tightly with both hands.

She said in a simple, honest voice, "Big brother, I've broken through to the eighth level of the Qi and Blood Realm!"

"That's impressive."

Shen Yi praised her and rubbed her little head.

Shen Yuan immediately squinted her eyes in satisfaction, looking completely pleased.

"Little sister, what about me?"

Upon hearing the sound, Shen Yuan opened her eyes and turned to look at Shen Kun, who was standing not far away with his arms outstretched.

She immediately smiled, her eyes crinkling, and ran over to hug him as well.

"You two siblings have such a good relationship."

Mo Guanhai sighed.

"Yes." Shen Yi chuckled.

"In this world, even family ties are not necessarily reliable. I've seen far too many cases of family members killing each other."

Mo Guanhai sighed deeply, then said earnestly, "I hope that you three siblings can continue like this and maintain this pure family affection."

Shen Yi's smile faded slightly.

As people grow up, many of their ideas change.

He couldn't guarantee what Ah Kun and Little Sister would be like.

But at least for now, they are his two most important family members.

Shen Yi is also one of their most cherished family members.

That's enough.

As if noticing his emotions, Guan Yue stood beside him, leaning her left shoulder slightly against him, and whispered comfortingly, "Ayi, Akun and Xiaoyuan will never change. We will always be by your side."

At this moment, Liao Ning keenly noticed Guan Yue's behavior, and his eyes flashed.

"Village chief, a group of people has arrived outside our village. They say they are from Pucao Village and want to see you. Should we let them in?"

'

A villager on patrol ran in from outside and quickly reported the incident.

People from Pucao Village?

They actually came.

Shen Yi was surprised, then said, "I'll go greet them."

Seeing this, Liao Ning and the others followed him to the gate.

Outside the wall.

The group surveyed the entire territory, whispering amongst themselves as they waited.

"Is this all the territory Black Mountain Village has?"

"After all, there are only about sixty of them, how big can they be?"

"But this wall looks pretty sturdy, and it has quite a few spirit patterns."

"Their goalkeepers all look pretty strong; they seem to have figured out the game."

"Stop talking."

Not long after.

After seeing a group of people come out of the gate.

The middle-aged man at the head of the group quickly stepped forward, clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, and said with a smile, "Village Chief Shen, it's been a long time!"

"These are the spirit trees from our Pucao Village, and they have all arrived safely!"
